Loading...
Summary
The Wells Select Board closed public hearings and granted a string of business licenses (beer & wine, full liquor, taxicab and multiple solid-waste disposal licenses) and approved a mass-gathering permit for a reverse Christmas parade at Wells Harbor Community Park. Most motions passed unanimously by voice vote.
At its Dec. 16 meeting the Wells Select Board closed public hearings and approved a series of business and operational licenses for local establishments and service providers.
Licenses approved included Bank Maine LLC (2178 Post Road) for a beer-and-wine license; Kai Sanford Restaurant Inc. (Kai Asian Fusion, 2063 Post Road) for full beer, wine and spirits; Terrace Melanson (Ocean Taxi LLC, 50 Branch Road) for a taxicab business license; and multiple solid-waste disposal licenses for firms including JCO Disposal, Jeffrey A. Simpson (DBA), Triana Waste Services (Grama Waste Services Inc.), Pine Tree Waste (Casella Waste Services) and Waste Management of Maine. For each hearing a board member moved to close the public hearing and grant the license; motions were seconded and carried by voice vote (commonly recorded as 4–0).
The board also granted a mass-gathering permit to the Wells Chamber of Commerce for a reverse Christmas parade to be held Dec. 21 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Wells Harbor Community Park. The board noted the reverse parade had been used during the pandemic and will take place in lieu of the canceled traditional parade.
A board member asked where fees from solid-waste licenses are recorded in the municipal budget; staff (Jody) said she would follow up to identify the account.
Most license and permit motions were routine and passed on unanimous voice votes.
